Central Government Debt represents the total outstanding contractual direct liabilities of the central government to its creditors. It includes both domestic and foreign debt instruments such as treasury bills, bonds, and loans. This indicator is critical for assessing a nation's fiscal sustainability, creditworthiness, and the potential for future tax increases or spending cuts.
It is calculated as the sum of all recognized government liabilities minus any debt held by the government itself. Data is compiled from national treasury records and central bank balance sheets following international accounting standards.
